Scottish Festival Peeves?

[Scotland Forever]

As a matter of fact, 7 Nations were here a few weeks ago, and a troop of Scottish dancers got up at one point and started dancing. It was pretty amazing to watch them- they were so good at it and were obviously friends having a great time!

7N FTW!! They usually get the ladies dancing

What is "FTW"? And yes. They do seem to!

I think in this case FTW means "For The Win", Which is a lot different from what it meant in my biker days

For the win? Again I repeat... what the heck does FTW mean? I don't get it in relation to the context!

for the win
Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary

for the win

1. (Internet, slang) Of something which completes a process in a successful manner or is of the speaker's personal preference; abbreviated as FTW.

(Sports Announcer) He lines up the shot... and he makes it-- FOR THE WIN!
(Speaker one) Did anyone see the concert last Thursday? (Speaker two) Rammstein ftw! [meaning the speaker preferred Rammstein]

[edit] Usage notes

More often than not, this phrase is used online and shortened to "FTW". Also, "FTW" is mostly used to indicate a contribution or action taken that one is proud of, even facetiously. Very frequently, the phrase will be used in fragments lacking verbs, eg Good offense ftw

Free The World?

Honestly, I'm pretty ok with whatever anyone wants to do. Pixies, fairies, pirates, vikings, executioners, etc, may be out of place, but it's just people try to have fun. They probably fit in better amongst the tents selling flails, maces, and "stage-quality replicas" of Excalibur than they would on the street. We're all a little bit crazy- their crazy is just a different brand.

There are certain things- long kilts, low sporrans, etc, that can be corrected with a friendly "Hi there! Maybe you should..." Other things maybe not so much.

MY biggest pet peeve is the jerk.

The jerk is a species that comes in all shapes and sizes, wears any and all type of plumage, and struts about while looking for a mate. The jerk attempts to endear itself to the opposite sex by consuming mass quantities of a near-hallucinogenic fluid known as alcohol. Following a grotesque feeding in which bottle after bottle is nursed like the teet of the jerk's mother, the jerk will engage in "feats of strength and stupidity." These feats usually involve breaking anything within arm-length and yelling the obscene mating call of "**** ***, ******!" (expletives deleted). The jerk may also attempt to make itself look better through rituals known as "teasing," "insulting," and perhaps even "fighting." After being offensive to all the senses, one of two outcomes will be rendered unto the jerk:
1. The jerk will stumble off into the woods or the street, where, God willing, it will be captured and sent to the zoo.
2. The jerk, having been successful in attracting a mate, with father (or mother) several more jerks in the foul hovel in which it nests.

This has been BBC's Nature Uncovered. Thank You, and goodnight.

The jerk, of the same species as the douche...

ftw is interweb for kine. *** is the trigram for whiskey tango foxtrot. ftw may also mean free the world, or its inverse, world the free.

Hopefully you all understand now.
